Item 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

    Item 3 of the Statement is amended to read in its entirety as follows:

    As of July 30, 1992, HFCP II, Orchard Partners, International Partners,
Magellan, the Issuer and Templeton Worldwide, Inc., a Delaware corporation then
known as TFII, Inc. wholly owned by the Issuer ("Templeton"), entered into that
certain Subordinated Debenture Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached
hereto as Exhibit 7(2) ("Purchase Agreement").  On August 3, 1992, pursuant to
the Purchase Agreement, HFCP II purchased Templeton's 6.25% subordinated
debentures ("Debentures") (with an aggregate face amount of $92,970,000) and
corresponding option rights to acquire common stock of the Issuer ("Option
Rights") for an aggregate purchase price of $92,970,000; Orchard Partners
purchased Debentures (with an aggregate face amount of $5,860,000) and
corresponding Option Rights for an aggregate purchase price of $5,860,000;
International Partners


                                

<PAGE>

purchased Debentures (with an aggregate face amount of $1,170,000) and
corresponding Option Rights for an aggregate purchase price of $1,170,000; and
Magellan purchased Debentures (with an aggregate face amount of $50,000,000) and
corresponding Option Rights for an aggregate purchase price of $50,000,000.  The
Purchase Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 7(2) is incorporated herein by
this reference.

    The funds used by HFCP II, Orchard Partners and International Partners to
pay their respective portions of the purchase price were obtained by each such
partnership from capital contributions made by their respective partners
pursuant to preexisting capital commitments.  The funds used by Magellan to pay
its portion of the purchase price were funds of the government of Singapore. 
HFCP II, Orchard, International and Magellan are occasionally referred to herein
as the "Purchasers".

    On November 26, 1996 the Purchasers entered into a Debenture Repurchase
Agreement (the "Repurchase Agreement") with the Issuer and Templeton pursuant to
which the Issuer has agreed to purchase from the Purchasers an aggregate of
$74,984,993.70 face amount of the Purchasers' Debentures and related Option
Rights for aggregate consideration of US $165,807,233.73 as more specifically
provided in the Repurchase Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 7(7).  On the
same date, the Purchasers, the Issuer and Templeton entered into an Option Right
Exercise Agreement (the "Option Agreement") pursuant to which the Purchasers
will exercise Option Rights to acquire 2,361,190 shares of the


                                

<PAGE>

Issuer's Common Stock; the exercise price of the Option Rights will be paid with
the proceeds from the redemption of $75,015,006.30 face amount of Debentures. 
Such Debentures represent all of the Purchaser's Debentures not repurchased
pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement.  The Option Agreement also provides for a
cash payment to be made by the Parent to the Purchasers; the amount of such
payment depends on the closing date of the option exercise.  The Option
Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 7(8).

Item 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

    The Purchasers acquired the Debentures and the corresponding Option Rights
for investment purposes.  As described in Item 3 above, on November 26, 1996 the
Purchasers entered into the Repurchase Agreement described in Item 3 pursuant to
which the Purchasers have sold to the Issuer an aggregate face amount of
$74,984,993.70 of the Debentures representing approximately one-half of their
holdings, together with the related Option Rights, for aggregate consideration
of US $165,807,233.73.  On the same date, Purchasers also entered into the
Option Agreement described in Item 3 pursuant to which the Purchasers shall
surrender their remaining Debentures to exercise the Option Rights associated
with such Debentures; as a result of exercising such Option Rights, the
Purchases will acquire 2,361,190 shares of the Parent's Common Stock.  The
Reporting Persons expect to hold such Common Stock for investment purposes.


                                

<PAGE>

    None of the Reporting Persons has any present intention to acquire control
over the Issuer.  Subject to their obligations pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement and the Holders' Rights Agreement entered into on July 30, 1992, among
the Issuer, Templeton, HFCP II, Orchard Partners, International Partners and
Magellan, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 7(3) ("Holders' Rights
Agreement"), the Reporting Persons intend to review on a continuing basis their
respective investments in the Issuer and, as and when permitted by the Purchase
Agreement and the Holders' Rights Agreement, may determine to acquire additional
securities of the Issuer, or to sell or otherwise dispose of all or part of
their remaining investment in the Issuer or their investment in Templeton.  The
Holders' Rights Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 7(3) is incorporated herein
by this reference.

    As of July 30, 1992, the Issuer, Templeton and HFCP II entered into that
certain Management Rights Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as
Exhibit 7(4) ("Management Rights Agreement").  Pursuant to the Management Rights
Agreement, HFCP II has the right to nominate F. Warren Hellman or, in the event
that Mr. Hellman should no longer be an affiliate (within the meaning of Rule
405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) of HFCP II, another designee
of HFCP II reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer (in either case, the
"Nominee"), to be elected as a member of the Board of Directors of each of the
Issuer and Templeton.  To the extent permitted by law, the Issuer shall use its
best efforts to cause the Nominee to become nominated for


                                

<PAGE>

election by the stockholders of the Issuer as a member of the Board of Directors
and shall vote all shares for which the Issuer's management or the Board of
Directors holds proxies or that the Issuer's management or the Board of
Directors is otherwise entitled to vote in favor of the election of such
Nominee.  To the extent permitted by law, Templeton shall use its best efforts
to cause the Nominee to become nominated for election by the Issuer as a member
of the Board of Directors of Templeton.  The Management Rights Agreement shall
terminate on the date that HFCP II, Orchard Partners and International Partners
no longer are, in the aggregate, the record or beneficial owners of Common Stock
of the Issuer issuable upon exercise of Option Rights corresponding to
Debentures having a face value of at least $50 million (assuming for this
purpose that all unexercised Option Rights have been exercised).  The Issuer and
the Company have appointed Mr. Hellman as a director, and Mr. Hellman has
accepted such appointment effective as of August 10, 1992.  The Management
Rights Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 7(4) is incorporated herein by this
reference.

    Pursuant to the Holders' Rights Agreement, the Purchasers have agreed to
certain voting, transfer and standstill arrangements whereby their future
disposition of Debentures, guarantees by the Issuer of Templeton's obligations
under the Debentures ("Debentures Guarantees"), Option Rights and Common Stock,
and their future acquisition of Common Stock and any other securities of the
Issuer entitled to vote generally in the election of directors or any other
securities convertible into,


                                

<PAGE>

exchangeable for or exercisable for, any of the foregoing, are restricted.  In
addition, the Purchasers agreed not to participate in, or encourage, any
solicitation of proxies to vote for the approval of any proposals submitted to
the stockholders of the Issuer or to participate in any way in acquisitions,
restructurings, recapitalizations or similar transactions of the Issuer or any
of its affiliates.  These restrictions may impede the acquisition of control of
the Issuer by the Reporting Persons or others.  The Holders' Rights Agreement
also grants the Purchasers certain registration rights with respect to all
Debentures, Debentures Guarantees and Option Rights not previously sold to the
public held by the Purchasers, and Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the
Option Rights not previously sold to the public issued or issuable to the
Purchasers.

    Except as otherwise indicated in this Item 4, the Reporting Persons do not
have any present plans or proposals with respect to the Issuer that relate to or
could result in the occurrence of any of the events set forth in paragraphs (a)
- - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Item 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

    Item 5 of the Statement is amended in its entirety to read as follows:

         (a) and (b).  The aggregate number of shares and percentage of Common
Stock of the Issuer (based upon the number of shares of Common Stock the
Registering Persons understand to


                                

<PAGE>

have been outstanding on October 31, 1996 beneficially owned by each person
named in Item 2, as well as the number of shares of Common Stock as to which
such person is deemed to have sole power to vote or to direct the vote, shared
power to vote or to direct the vote, sole power to dispose or to direct the
disposition, or shared power to dispose or direct the disposition, in each case
after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Repurchase
Agreement, is set forth in the following table.

                         Debenture Repurchase Agreement

<PAGE>

                         DEBENTURE REPURCHASE AGREEMENT


          This Debenture Repurchase Agreement (the "Agreement") is entered into
as of November 26, 1996, by and among FRANKLIN RESOURCES, INC., a Delaware
corporation (the "Parent"), TEMPLETON WORLDWIDE, INC., a Delaware corporation
(the "Company" and, with Parent, the "Issuer"), HELLMAN & FRIEDMAN CAPITAL
PARTNERS II, L.P., a California limited partnership ("HFCP II"), H&F ORCHARD
PARTNERS, L.P., a California limited partnership ("Orchard Partners"), H&F
INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS, L.P., a California limited partnership ("International
Partners"), and MAGELLAN PTE. LTD., a corporation formed under the laws of
Singapore ("Magellan" and, with HFCP II, Orchard Partners and International
Partners, collectively the "Sellers").

                                   BACKGROUND

          1.   The Sellers are presently the holders of an aggregate of One
Hundred Fifty Million Dollars ($150,000,000) principal amount of 6.25%
Subordinated Debentures due 2002 (the "Debentures"), which Debentures were
issued pursuant to an indenture among the Company, Parent and the Chase
Manhattan Bank (the "Trustee") dated as of July 30, 1992 (the "Indenture").
Each Debenture was issued by the Company and guaranteed by the Parent as
contemplated by the Indenture.  Each Debenture has attached thereto an Option
Right (as defined in the Indenture) issued by the Parent, which Option Right
affords the holder of the Debenture the right to acquire shares of the Parent's
common stock, par value ten cents ($.10) per share (the "Common Stock").

          2.   The Parent, the Company and the Sellers have entered into this
Agreement to provide for the purchase by the Parent of a portion of the
outstanding Debentures and associated Option Rights held by the Sellers as more
particularly provided herein.  Capitalized terms used without definition herein
shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Indenture.

          NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

          Section 1.  PURCHASE AND SALE.  Subject to the Purchase Closing 
Conditions set forth in Section 5 hereof, Sellers agree severally to sell and 
do hereby sell to Parent, and Parent agrees to purchase and does hereby 
purchase, an aggregate Seventy-four million nine hundred eighty-four thousand 
nine hundred ninety-three dollars and seventy cents (U.S. $74,984,993.70) 
face amount of Debentures (the "Purchased Debentures") and the associated 
Option Rights (the "Purchased Option Rights" and, with the Purchased 
Debentures, the "Purchased Securities"). Delivery of the Purchased Securities 
shall be made on the second business day following satisfaction of the 
Purchase Closing Conditions (as defined herein) or on such other date as the 
parties shall

                                       -1-

<PAGE>

mutually agree (the "Closing Date") by delivery of the Debentures and associated
Option Rights presently held by the Sellers to the Parent.  Simultaneously with
the receipt of such Debentures, the Parent shall pay to the Sellers in
immediately available funds the amount of One hundred sixty-five million eight
hundred seven thousand two hundred thirty-three dollars and seventy-three cents
(U.S. $165,807,233.73), plus accrued interest on the Purchased Debentures from
the Interest Payment Date immediately preceding the Closing Date through and
including the Closing Date, by wire transfer to the accounts designated in
writing by the Sellers.  The aggregate face amount of the Purchased Debentures
to be sold by each Seller and the aggregate purchase price to be paid by the
Parent to each such Seller, and the remaining face amount of Debentures
continuing to be held by such Seller shall be as set forth in Schedule I hereto.

          Section 2.  ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PRICE.  The Parent, the Company and
the Sellers hereby agree that the purchase price to be paid by the Parent to
each Seller is allocated between the Purchased Debentures and the Purchased
Option Rights as follows:  an amount equal to the Accreted Issue Price (as
defined in the Indenture) of the Purchased Debentures, plus the accrued but
unpaid interest on such Purchased Debentures, shall be the purchase price for
the Purchased Debentures, with the balance representing the purchase price for
the associated Purchased Option Rights.

          Section 3.  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER.  Each Seller
severally represents and warrants that at the Closing:  (a) the execution,
delivery and performance by each such Seller of this Agreement (i) are within
the corporate or partnership power and authority, as appropriate, of each such
Seller, (ii) have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of
such Seller, (iii) do not conflict with, or result in a breach of the terms,
conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, a limited
partnership agreement or organizational document of such Seller or any material
contract or agreement to which such Seller is a party, and (iv) will not violate
any order, writ, injunction, decree, judgment, ruling, law, rule or other
regulation of any court or governmental authority, domestic or foreign,
applicable to such Seller or its properties; (b) this Agreement constitutes a
legal, valid and binding agreement of such Seller enforceable against such
Seller in accordance with its terms; and (c) the delivery of the Purchased
Securities to the Parent pursuant to this Agreement will transfer to Parent
legal and valid title thereto free and clear of all claims, liens, charges or
encumbrances of any kind or nature whatsoever created by Sellers.

          Section 4.  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE ISSUERS.  Each

agreement to which either Issuer is a party, and (iv) will not violate any
order, writ, injunction, decree, judgment, ruling, law, rule or regulation of
any court or governmental authority, domestic or foreign, applicable to either
Issuer or their subsidiaries or any of their respective properties; and (b) this
Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of each Issuer
enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.

          Section 5.  CONDITIONS TO PURCHASE.  The obligations of Sellers and
Parent to close the transactions contemplated by Section 1 hereof shall be
subject to satisfaction of the following conditions (the "Purchase Closing 
Conditions"):

          (a)  The Parent shall have obtained the consent of the Majority
          Lenders under the Credit Agreement;

          (b)  The representations and warranties of each party to the other set

          on and as of the Closing Date, and each party shall deliver to the
          other a certificate confirming such fact executed by a duly authorized
          officer of such party; and

          (c)  The conditions to all parties' obligations to close the
          transactions contemplated by the Option Right Exercise Agreement of 
          even date herewith set forth in Section 4 thereof shall have been
